What is Community Care Cooperative (C3)? 
Community Care Cooperative (C3) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, Accountable Care Organization (ACO) governed by Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs).

We are a fast-growing organization founded in 2016 with 9 health centers and now serves hundreds of thousands of Medicaid beneficiaries who receive primary care at health centers and independent practices across Massachusetts. We are an innovative organization developing new partnerships and programs to improve the health of members and communities, and to strengthen our health center partners. 

In 2020, C3 made a commitment to address systemic racism as an intentional component of our strategic plan.
